Biography
Raphael Rulandi was born in New York City, New York, and he became known as a notorious gambler before becoming a Barzini crime family associate. He was sent to Las Vegas, Nevada to observe the Corleone crime family's progress there, and he befriended Moe Greene. Later, he returned to New York to set up a racket in The Peak hotel, overseeing Toben Greenwood's management of the hotel. He created a casino in the basement of the Peak, and he purchased a flower shop, Raphael's, for his girlfriend Suzie Boccino with the money that he had acquired from his lucrative business. In August 1945, Corleone associate Aldo Trapani extorted Rulandi, forcing him to pay his dues to the Corleones instead of the Barzinis.
